Russ1642:jfivealive: Sounds to me like the guy saved the one girl, then threw his dog into the water with its leash on so the girl could grab it and he pulled the dog and girl back in. Doesn't sound like the dog did anything at all.

Being a hero involuntarily still counts.

the dog is a hero in that it selflessly tried desperately to save itself from the cold water.

2CountyFairs:Meanwhile, my puppy is at home chewing a hole in the drywall.

Heh. My pup has severe separation anxiety, and tears up even things you didn't think him capable of destroying. So we started locking him in the bathroom, since after removing all the mats and dangerous liquids, there was nothing left to destroy (shower is a door, not a curtain). So we get home and what do we find? The bastard clawed and chewed a hole in the wall that would have made Andy Duphraine proud.

Well, without even seeing a picture, we know that it wasn't a pitbull. A pit would've swam past the girls to the other side of the lake, mauled a baby girl in a stroller, tore the throat out of her mother, then swam back across to attack the owner. All while being defended by some moron holding a "GOOD DOG BAD OWNER" sign.
